Q I have loved volunteeri­ng through lockdown, but it has slowed down quite a bit and I’m finding myself with more spare time. Is there another organisati­on that I can help virtually?

April, Ashford Yours says Be My Eyes is a global community that connects people who are blind or have low vision with sighted volunteers.

On the app, volunteers assist users through a live video link and work together to tackle challenges and handle a wide range of tasks. Since the launch, more than four million volunteers have signed up to assist Be My Eyes users, who can request support in more than 180 languages.

Q I have a surplus of seeds – can a charity make use of them?

Mick, Wisbech Yours says Since 2015, the Lemon Tree Trust has supported refugees, and communitie­s of forced migrants, to create home and community gardens, garden competitio­ns and education projects, with a particular focus on women coming together as a community. While the gardeners grow a range of plants, they are willing to try new things so are grateful to receive fruit, veg and herb seeds too.

■ If you would like to donate seed, call 0208 191 8674 or visit lemontreet­rust.org/ seed-appeal/
